Coloured bath resurfacing in Wolborough

About our coloured bath resurfacing in Wolborough

Everything is resurfaced where it stands, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Whether it’s a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom and faded or patchy colour, we can usually put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two days for a full suite. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Wolborough

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole suite
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire suite, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Wolborough

Avocado, pampas and pink suites were everywhere in the 70s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s generally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

Questions from Wolborough

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Wolborough?

We do. Technicians travel to Wolborough from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
